Masashi Takeda

Richeyedwards said: "Someone primarily known as a deathmatch guy this student of jun kasai, while excellent at that has also had good runs as a straight laced jr heavyweight in both singles and tag in all japan from around 2015-2018. He also in more recent years gained some measure of notoriety among watchers of American indie wrestling where he took part in a couple of bloodsport shows, where he had the opportunity to show off his background of a 16-4 MMA record. His 2017/2018 is a truly exceptional one for a deathmatch wrestler where he held the BJW and Freedoms titles the two main deathmatch titles in Japan at the same time, was BJWs biggest draw, main eventing multiple arena shows and wrestling the likes of Masaya Takahashi, Ryuji Ito, Abdullah Kobayashi, Jun Kasai, Isami Kodaka and Minoru fujita in the process."

Pretty good doing worked shootstyle and I'd like to see more of his Style-E material. That said this nu age deathmatch stuff is dreadfully boring and sameish and dead last on the list of wrestling I want to see.

Loved his 2018 run. Primarily a death match wrestler but he's a strong mat worker with a great sense of psychology and escalation. Still haven't seen enough where I'd be comfortable putting him on this kind of list though.
